Alex Henry Assigned to Hamilton

[Thrillhouse]

MONTREAL – The Canadiens announced Wednesday that defenseman Alex Henry has been reassigned to the AHL’s Hamilton Bulldogs.

Henry was recalled by the Canadiens on February 1st. He played in the team’s last two games, and registered ten penalty minutes.

Henry (6’6’’, 230 lbs) scored eight points (2 goals, 6 assists) in 47 games with the Bulldogs this season. The 29-year-old also posted a plus-9 rating with 70 penalty minutes.

Before joining the Canadiens as a free agent on July 3, 2008, the Elliot Lake, Ontario native played 175 games in the NHL with the Edmonton Oilers, the Washington Capitals and the Minnesota Wild. He registered 11 points and 259 penalty minutes.

Henry was drafted in the third round, 67th overall by the Edmonton Oilers in 1998.

its only cause big dumb georges is comin back. god i wish he would get hurt for the year and henry could take his place. he's at least willing to fight.

[JKidd]

Oh the life of the call up goon... At least he didn't have to pay for too long of parking at the airport.

what like cal did? his new lexus almost got towed, poor baby!!

[Sugden Flu]

Thats too bad. I thought Henry did an admirable job taking on Shawn Thornton & Big Eric Godard in his 2 games of service. Now that Laraque's mangina has heeled sufficiently I guess he'll be back to terrorizing the league.

That was fast....good job Alex.

[dipandmitts]

too bad. i wish somebody else would pick him up. i always have liked alex henry

[bigjohnson]

You cannot say he didn't try.

[mongoose]

I thought he did great.

[KordicNilanRoberge]

Good job for him against NHL two near top ten fighters.

When is the next time Montreal plays Boston? Cause after Laraque pulls his groin trying to chase Lucic around again it could open up another shot for Henry.

Creative joke, did you make up the part about the groin?

Its his back that's injured.

Damn. I was hoping he would stay around awhile. Kudos to him for dropping the gloves in both games he played.

Henry had an eventful couple game stint with the Habs, but this was obviously going to happen once Laraque got healthy. Hopefully he makes it back up at some point, but I'm pretty sure that will be the last we see of him this year unless Laraque continues to have injury trouble.
